...doubt, a competitive bunch. But this is election season in Harvard Yard, and things within the world of undergraduate organizations have taken nasty turn for the worse. Supposedly charismatic and reputable leaders have taken to groveling for votes, candidates bend constitutional bylaws to justify their wayward conduct, and Veritas has been thrown to the wind in the name of resumes, law school applications and artificial impressions of power.

The lawyer and former civil servant has dished dirt on tobacco whistle-blower Jeffrey Wigand and the United Way's wayward William Aramony. In the early '90s, Lenzner even investigated the Paula Jones case for the Clinton camp, sealing his reputation as an official FOB, or Friend of Bill...
